Humanities will award $25,000 in funding to enable rural and rural-adjacent
Oregon libraries to create and host events in their own communities, in
partnership with our Consider This program. Events should reflect the theme of
our 2022–23 Consider This series: People, Place, and Power. Grantees are
welcome to interpret this theme and develop topics that are relevant to their
communities. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, community care,
collective power, and civic engagement in rural areas. Libraries, including
branches, located in (or adjacent to and serving) rural or frontier zip codes
that have annual operating budgets of less than $1.5 million are eligible.
Deadline for applications is January 6, 2023 at 5:00pm PT. Full information can
